Nurses and other healthcare workers at the National Orthopaedic Hospital Dala Kano today embarked on indefinite strike action.

This action was taken to protest over the non payment of their three months salary and was sequel to the 5 days warning strike action that was embarked upon approximately two weeks ago.

In a memo sent in to us at nursingworldnigeria.com and signed by the National Association of Nigerian Nurses And Midwives P.R.O, it reads as follows:

"... the hospital's management is yet to meet our demands but rather has seen fit to resort to the blatant intimidation of staff of the hospital. We call on the federal government and relevant bodies to speed up actions to pay the 3months arrears as this have brought untold hardship on members of staff".

"This indefinite strike action embarked upon will be suspended once we get paid our rightful dues for the 3months arrears"

Where is the Pinshure

In another news , Members of the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) in Asaba, Delta state, have embarked on a warning strike, which they attribute to the alleged refusal of the Ministry of Health to pay their outstanding salaries.

Elsewhere , The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to pay their outstanding salaries.

The group told newsmen in Ibadan on Friday that it would proceed on indefinite strike from Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017, if the outstanding salaries were not paid.

How do we all enjoy this festive period if we have not received salaries for the past 3 months?
